The usefulness of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on nitrocellulose membranes (dot–ELISA) for diagnosis and identification of plant pathogenic bacteria was tested. Five pathovars of Xanthomonas campestris and two antisera, one produced against pv. vesicatoria and the other against pv. translucens, were used in a model system. A 10-min incubation of the bacterial cells, dot blotted on membranes, in diluted sera, followed by either alkaline phosphatase conjugated protein A or goat antirabbit globulin, resulted in a specific reaction between the homologous serum and bacteria. Populations of 1000–2000 cfu per spot (ca. 0.3 cm2) could be detected with these reagents. The streptavidin–biotinylated peroxidase complex produced a definitive reaction with as few as 800 cfu, but cross-reactions became evident at the higher cell concentrations among all five pathovars in tests with both antisera. Cell-free extracts, obtained by centrifugation of boiled bacteria, reacted similarly to live cells. Unrelated bacteria did not react with either antiserum. Extracts of lesions from tomato and pepper leaves infected with X. campestris pv. vesicatoria reacted positively with the antiserum produced against this pathovar but not that produced with pv. translucens. Samples of supernatants from boiled lesions reacted with similar intensity as those from homogenized tissues.

A dot-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using protein A-peroxidase was evaluated as a diagnostic test for canine leishmaniasis. The test results were in agreement with parasitologic diagnosis and indirect immunofluorescence assay results. The sensitivity of the test calculated on 31 dogs with positive parasitologic examination was 90% when a titer of 1/800 was established as a cutoff and 100% when a titer of 1/400 was established. The specificity calculated on the canine population from nonendemic areas was 100% when both titers were established. Nevertheless, in endemic areas titers near the cutoff need careful interpretation. The results of this study demonstrate that dot-ELISA protein A using a bio-dot apparatus is highly suitable for seroepidemiologic field work.

Sweet potato stem and root rot is an important bacterial disease and often causes serious economic losses to sweet potato. Development of rapid and sensitive detection methods is crucial for diagnosis and management of this disease in field. Here, we report the production of four hybridoma cell lines (25C4, 16C10, 9B1, and 9H10) using Dickeya dadantii strain FY1710 as an immunogen. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) produced by these four hybridoma cell lines were highly specific and sensitive for D. dadantii detection. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (indirect-ELISA) results showed that the four MAbs 25C4, 16C10, 9B1, and 9H10 could detect D. dadantii in suspensions diluted to 4.89 × 104, 4.89 × 104, 9.78 × 104, and 9.78 × 104 CFU/ml, respectively. Furthermore, all four MAbs can react strongly and specifically with all four D. dadantii strains used in this study, not with the other seven tested bacterial strains. Using these four MAbs, three different serological approaches, triple-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA), dot-ELISA, and tissue-print-ELISA, were developed for detection of D. dadantii in crude extracts prepared from field-collected sweet potato plants. Among these three methods, TAS-ELISA and dot-ELISA were used to detect D. dadantii in suspensions diluted up to 1.23 × 104 and 1.17 × 106 CFU/ml, respectively, or in sweet potato crude extracts diluted up to 1:3,840 and 1:1,920 (wt/vol, grams per milliliter), respectively. Surprisingly, both TAS-ELISA and dot-ELISA serological approaches were more sensitive than the conventional PCR. Analyses using field-collected sweet potato samples showed that the newly developed TAS-ELISA, dot-ELISA, or tissue-print-ELISA were reliable in detecting D. dadantii in sweet potato tissues. Thus, the three serological approaches were highly valuable for diagnosis of stem and root rot in sweet potato production.

The Difference

Abstract Western blotting was used to detect infections of peanut cv. Tamnut 74 with peanut mottle virus (PMV) and/or peanut stripe virus (PStV). Leaf samples were ground in electrophoresis sample buffer and heated for 5 min at 95 C prior to electrophoresis in 12% polyacrylamide gels. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose sheets at 100V for 45 min. Western blots were performed by first blocking unbound sites on the nitrocellulose with 5% non-fat dry milk in Tris-buffered saline (TBS), pH 7.4 for 30 min, followed by incubation in a 1/200 dilution of PMV and/or PStV antiserum in TBS (the latter antiserum provided by J. W. Demski, U. of GA) for 45 min. This was followed by incubation in protein-A-peroxidase (2 μg/mL in TBS) for 45 min, followed by 4-chloro-1-napthol plus hydrogen peroxide in TBS. As little as 25 ng of either purified PMV or PStV was detected. This was similar to the limits of detection fo the double sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Because of the difference in migration of the coat proteins of PMV and PStV, both viruses may be detected in plants infected with PMV and PStV. This assay can be performed in approximately 6 h when mini-gels are used for the initial electrophoretic seperation and does not require the antiserum to be fractionated or bound to an enzyme as is the case with ELISA.

The objective of the present work was to standardize and evaluate indirect plate and dot- enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using purified Paramphistomum epiclitum homologous antigens in the small ruminants. Electrophoretic separation of somatic antigen (PeSAg) in reducing condition on 15% polyacrylamide gel resolved into 16 proteins of the molecular weight ranging from 14 -100 kDa. Two step ethanolic precipitation of supernatant of in-vitro culture of the fluke yielded P. epiclitum excretory-secretory antigen (PeESAg) of molecular weight 28 kDa. The animals (Goats=123; Sheep=91) were broadly kept into post-mortem and faecal examined groups. At many occasion the PeSAg found to cross reacts with other helminths parasites thus minimizing the specificity of the tests and antigens. There was no any direct correlation between the parasites load and ELISA reactivity pattern. The noted prevalence rate after combining the results of post-mortem examination and PeESAg based ELISA (plate and paper/ dot) was 30.08% (37/123) in goats and 28.57% (26/91) in sheep. While using PeESAg, the calculated overall sensitivity% was 92.86 (goats)/ 100 (sheep) in both plate and dot-ELISA, specificity% was 91.58 (goats)/ 91.55 (sheep) in plate ELISA while 88.42 (goats)/ 92.96 (sheep) in dot-ELISA, positive predictive value% was 76.47 (goats)/ 76.92 (sheep) in plate ELISA while 70.27 (goats)/ 80 (sheep) in dot-ELISA and negative predictive value% was 97.75 (goats)/ 100 (sheep) in plate ELISA while 97.67 (goats)/ 100 (sheep) in dot-ELISA, these values were optimum for the field sera sample so the tests and PeESAg can be recommended for the detection P. epiclitum infection in the small ruminants.

AbstractWe have developed and applied an immunoassay method to detect genetically modified (GM) rape containing phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (PAT). The purified PAT was identified by Western blotting and enzymic activity analysis. The polyclonal antibody against purified PAT protein was obtained and purified by both a saturated ammonium sulphate method and protein A-Sepharose 4B. The sensitivity and cross-reactivity of the polyclonal antibody has been demonstrated in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The result of the ELISA for antiserum sensitivity was about 2×10−5mg/ml and the cross-reactivity determined experimentally showed a high degree of specificity for the antiserum used, because values were all less than 0.1%. Detection of transgenic plants was evaluated using two transgenic rape lines (MS1/RF1 and MS8/RF3) which could be easily distinguished by ELISA.
